Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a major cause of failure of retinal detachment surgery. It is believed to be a wound-healing process in the retina. Many of the cellular functions are influenced by cytokines and growth factors such as interleukins (ILs). The present study was conducted to investigate the presence of transforming growth factor-beta 2 (TGF-beta2), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), IL-1beta, IL-6, and protein in the vitreous of patients with retinal detachment and to determine the value of these mediators in predicting the future development of PVR.
